FOSS GDevelop gets a sweet new dark theme [2]

GDevelop is a wonderful free and open game engine, one that's cross-platform and it continues to get more powerful. It also has theme support with a new dark theme landing that looks great.

The new dark theme "Nord" is based on the the palette from nordtheme.com, and it fits in very nicely with the GDevelop editor UI. In fact, it actually looks a little like the Godot Engine theme. Dark themes can at times be a little too dark, light themes blinding and this new Nord theme seems to have a nice contrast to it, makes tinkering with it feel better along with the recent UI adjustments the GDevelop team did to reduce useless padding everywhere.

First-person slavic fantasy adventure The End of the Sun is fully funded[3]

The End of the Sun, a slavic first-person fantasy adventure has managed to run a successful Kickstarter campaign. Against their initial $12,000 goal, 741 backers pledged $18,001 to help make it.

What is it? A strange sounding tale that's what, interesting though. Set in the world of Slavic rites, beliefs, legends, and their everyday life. It is a series of mysterious events that ordinary people dealt with, as they were living in a small village where the line between myth and reality began to fade perilously.

We've spoken to the developer a few times, and they've been vocal about their support. The game director, Jakub Machowski, was part of the team that developer The Mims Beginning which also supports Linux.

Missions and Monsters DLC date announced for Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark [4]

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark, a tactical turn-based RPG from 6 Eyes Studio and 1C Entertainment is set to get a first major DLC with Missions and Monsters on June 23.

Bringing many new additions to the game like the ability to recruit powerful monsters, the Missions and Monsters DLC sounds like it's going to bring a lot of fun options for battles. 6 Eyes Studio mentioned their main focus was to "enrich the core gameplay experience" and they're "extremely happy about the result".

Social deduction hacking game Untrusted looking for stress-test players[5]

Untrusted, an upcoming online indie game of hacking and social deduction inspired by the likes of Werewolf/Mafia genre and others similar is running a free stress-test soon.

The developer supports Linux with it right now and on Saturday, June 13 at 7PM UTC, they're going to be putting it all online in the hopes of gathering more feedback and finding any issues. Untrusted now has a tutorial too, which the developer hopes will ease more people into it.

Hectic single-player FPS Ravenfield expands modding with scripting and mutators[6]

Ravenfield might be one of the most popular indie single-player first-person shooters on Steam and now it's probably going to get even more popular with a huge update out.

You could already do a lot of ridiculous things with Ravenfield. Thanks to modders there's thousands of maps, vehicles and weapons you can add it from the Steam Workshop. Now though? Expect things to get a lot more wild. With Ravenfield's Early Access 20, they've extended modding support to include a new Lua-based Ravenscript.

On top of that, you can also now mod in mutators. These can be tweaks both big and small to the gameplay that can be pulled from the Steam Workshop, with a couple built-in as examples like name tags and crosshairs. If enabled, some mutators even like you configure them to adjust settings. Punch Pong turns Ping Pong into a very clever fighting game [7]

Punch Pong is a fantastic and fun idea, turning the classic Ping Pong into a turn-based fighting game that needs quick-thinking and countering your enemies.

It's turn-based but the Punch Pong battles continue switching between players in real-time as the ball moves directions but you can only engage your move as it comes your way. It's quite ingenious and a has a lot of style to it. As you bounce the ball back, you build up an energy bar allowing you to do special moves and gradually bring down your opponents HP.

Wipeout inspired racer BallisticNG to get a big expansion in July [8]

BallisticNG, what the developers openly call a love letter to the classic Wipeout, is set to get a big DLC filled with new content to blast through.

With a release date confirmed as July 20, BallisticNG - Outer Reaches will include 6 new tracks, all of which can be played in reverse too making it sort-of double that. There's also going to be a new campaign to race through and a new set of liveries (skins).

[...]

Now that's what you call good Linux support to ensure the Linux version works well. The big update also includes other Linux fixes, a new game mode and a lot more coming.
